Amilcingo

Amilcingo lies at the far eastern edge of Morelos, close to the Puebla border and within sight of Popocatépetl, at about 1,526 m above sea level. It belongs to the municipality of Temoac, whose seat is some 5 km to the north, and it now runs into neighbouring Huazulco. The 2020 census counted 3,961 people. It is one of the municipality's four agrarian communities, and a 2015 state decree lists it as an indigenous community. Its residents, together with those of Huazulco, Popotlán and Temoac, organised to break away from Zacualpan de Amilpas, and the new municipality was recognised on 17 March 1977.

Amaranth is the local emblem: the village coat of arms reads "Land of amaranth" and shows a plant sprouting from soil. It is grown mainly in Amilcingo and Huazulco, with two sowing windows (30 May to 15 June and 15 to 30 June), and making amaranth wafers has grown in both villages. The Barranca de Ahuehuetes, inside the village, is its patch of nature.

The main festival is the Señor de la Columna on 15 March. Other dates in the local calendar are 21 March (Benito Juárez's birthday and the first day of spring), 10 April, when ejidatarios parade and lay flowers for the death of Emiliano Zapata, and 30 September, with a civic parade.

The village is also known for community radio Amiltzinko, founded in 2014 and now on 100.7 FM, and for Samir Flores Soberanes, a presenter at the station and activist against the Proyecto Integral Morelos, who was killed outside his home on 20 February 2019. He is remembered each February with a mass and offerings there.
